This powerful nude man sits staring straight ahead with his mouth open as if speaking. Time has eroded the pupils of his eyes, giving him the look of a blind seer or an ancient prophet mumbling predictions in a trance-like state. In his own time did he envision the world in which he now finds himself? In our present age, what future does he see beyond his blank stare?
